I get this error:

 Lua error in Module:Unsubst at
 line 18: attempt to call field
 'isSubsting' (a nil value).

Shouldn't that be isSubstring? MarkAHershberger(talk) 16:27, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The module name is "Unsubst", implying a reversal of "subst"; "subst" is a verb, being Wiki shorthand for substitute; so the present participle would be "substing", and may be used in a phrase like "it is substing", hence I think that "isSubsting" is a reasonable name for an identifier, such as a function returning a Boolean result. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:22, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: As Redrose64 explained, isSubsting is the correct spelling. Where are you getting this error? Given that we haven't been inundated by people complaining that every maintenance tag (e.g. [citation needed]) is giving script errors, I am skeptical that you're seeing this here on enwiki. On non-WMF wikis, do note that you will need an extremely recent version of Scribunto (or you will have to cherry-pick gerrit:93019). Anomie 18:09, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
